London , England -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- British police questioned four members of the Pakistani national cricket team after allegations surfaced that gamblers fixed part of a match against England , the manager of the Pakistani team said Sunday .

They arrested a different man in connection with the allegations late Saturday .

The investigation comes after a British tabloid newspaper reported that two Pakistani players deliberately bowled `` no balls '' -- a foul -- while playing against England in London last week .

A `` no ball '' is when the bowler -- the equivalent of a pitcher in baseball -- steps over the line as he throws the ball . The batting team gets a run when that happens .

A chance lost for Pakistan 's cricketers ?

The British tabloid News of the World posted what it said was a video of an undercover reporter meeting with a man identified as Mazhar Majeed , who tells the reporter exactly which bowlers would bowl `` no balls '' and when , then lays out 14 thick stacks of bills on a table .

The video of the meeting -- which the newspaper said took place Wednesday , the day before the match between Pakistan and England began -- is intercut with clips from the following two days , where the players perform as Majeed said they would .

The tabloid also says the alleged ringleader pocketed 150,000 British pounds -LRB- U.S. $ 232,800 -RRB- in the scam .

London 's Metropolitan Police said a 35-year-old man was arrested late Saturday on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers .

A source familiar with the investigation named him as Mazhar Majeed .

Without identifying the suspect by name , London police said Sunday in a brief statement that the 35-year-old man was released on bail `` until a date in the future . '' No date for a hearing or further proceedings was given in the statement .

No players or team officials have been arrested , the International Cricket Council said Sunday .

But police questioned team captain Salman Butt , manager Yawar Saeed and two other players , Saeed told reporters Sunday .

He did not name the other two players at the news conference , but Britain 's Press Association earlier reported that he had said they were bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asaf .

Police refused to confirm to CNN who was being questioned .

Team captain Butt said Pakistan gave 100 percent throughout a match .

`` We have given our best , '' Butt said after his team lost to England .

The team manager refused to comment on the report that Pakistani players intentionally committed three fouls during the

match .

`` No allegations are true until they are proved either way , '' said Saeed . `` So that this point in time they are just allegations . Let 's wait until the case is complete . ''

England beat Pakistan in the four-day match at Lord 's cricket ground , which ended Sunday afternoon , after the scandal broke .

Pakistan 's President Asif Ali Zardari ordered an investigation into the scandal , his spokesman said Sunday .

He directed the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board to submit a preliminary report `` immediately , '' Farhatullah Babar said , adding that Zardari asked to be kept informed about any British investigations as well .

Sam Peters , News of the World 's cricket correspondent , told CNN that the tabloid did not `` drive these events ... These events were going to happen regardless of whether the News of the World was involved . ''

But , he said , staffers believed the story was in the public interest . `` It 's a legitimate story to get to the bottom of something that 's been plaguing our sport , '' he said . '' ... It 's swirled around , and the innuendo 's been there . ''

`` People need to know this is going on , '' he said , `` what they 're watching when they 're paying money to go to sports events ... it 's not always what they believe it to be . ''

However , Shakil Shaikh , president of the Islamabad Regional Cricket Association , told CNN that while he is `` shocked '' at the news , `` no proof has been given of the involvement of these players in the match-fixing issue '' and he has seen no concrete evidence against the cricketers .

He said if evidence does surface , an investigation will be launched .

It is the second allegation of corruption directed at the Pakistan cricket team this year .

The International Cricket Council 's anti-corruption unit was set up in response to allegations against the captains of Pakistan , India and South Africa in 2000 . All three were banned from the game for life .

News of the World does not allege that gamblers fixed the results of the match -- only that specific moments in the match were fixed , a practice known as `` spot-fixing '' rather than `` match-fixing . ''

Betting on cricket matches is legal in England .

International and local cricket officials will not be issuing further comment `` as this is now subject to a police investigation , '' the council said in a statement .

A Metropolitan Police spokesman told CNN the arrest came in response to information provided by the newspaper .

Andrew Miller , a cricket expert and the U.K. editor for ESPN 's Cricket website , told CNN on Sunday morning that since a major scandal involving match fixing between India and South Africa in 2000 , things appear not to have changed much .

`` What we 're discovering is that corruption has never gone away , '' Miller said via telephone from London . `` It 's resurfacing this year -- during the 10th anniversary of the biggest scandal ever to hit cricket . ''

Miller said though it remains to be proven , it appears this newest scandal could be on par with the scandal from 10 years ago . He added that cricket 's many aspects of play and rules make it susceptible to betting . And in a five-day test match , such as the one under way between Pakistan and England at the Lord 's cricket ground , there are a lot of possibilities for placing bets that players can manipulate .

`` If you were going to invent a game that you could corrupt -- it would be cricket because you can bet on every aspect of the game , '' he continued .

For example , there are up to 2,700 deliveries per game and if a gambler were to plop down $ 10,000 on the 827th delivery , predicting it correctly , the payoff for that particular bet could be handsome .

`` We believe this is really huge , and could be affecting other areas of cricket , '' Peters said .

The News of the World report was co-authored by Mazher Mahmood , a controversial figure in British journalism who has exposed several previous scams . He was responsible for a report in May that revealed Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson offered to sell access to her former husband , Prince Andrew .

According to the UK Press Association , the tabloid 's reporters were able to gain access to the alleged ring by posing as `` Far Eastern businessmen . ''

CNN 's Richard Allen Greene , Phil Black , Caroline Paterson , Bharati Naik , Les Neuhaus and Andreena Narayan contributed to this report .
